¹⁴ So hear the word of Yah Veh, you scornful men who reign over this people in Yeru Shalem: ¹⁵ because you say, We cut a covenant with death and with sheol we work seers: when the overflowing whip passes through, it comes not to us: for we set lies our refuge, and under falsehood we hide ourselves.

⁸ For there is a cup in the hand of Yah Veh: the wine foams; it is full of mixture: and he pours thus; surely, all the wicked of the earth wring out and drink the dregs.

¹¹ Establish no man of tongue in the earth; evil hunts the man of violence - to overthrow him.

¹¹ if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent; ¹² we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well; ¹³ we find all esteemed wealth; we fill our houses with spoil;

¹⁸ they lurk for their own blood; they hide out for their own souls:

³¹ they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:

¹⁷ for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

¹¹ The mouth of the just is a fountain of life; and violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

¹⁴ A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the dealing of human hands returns to him.

²⁰ The belly of man satiates with the fruit of his mouth - satiates with the produce of his lips.

²⁷ And say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: You, drink and intoxicate and vomit and fall and rise no more at the face of the sword I send among you. ²⁸ And so be it, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink then you say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth; In drinking, drink! ²⁹ For, behold, I begin to vilify the city on which my name is called. And in exonerating, are you exonerated? You are not unpunished: for I call for a sword on all the settlers of the earth - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ³⁰ So prophesy all these words against them and say to them, Yah Veh roars from on high and gives his voice from his holy habitation of rest; in roaring, he roars on his habitation of rest; he answers as they who tread against all the settlers of the earth. ³¹ An uproar approaches the ends of the earth; for Yah Veh has a controversy with the goyim: he judges all flesh; he gives the wicked to the sword - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁸ Because you spoil many goyim all the remnant of the people spoil you - because of human blood and for the violence of the land; of the city and all who settle therein.

¹⁷ For the violence of Lebanon covers you, and the ravage of animals terrifies them because of human blood; and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell therein.

⁶ Because they poured the blood of the holy and prophets; and you give them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

¹ To His Eminence; Yeduthun/A Laudatory; A Psalm by David. I say, I guard my ways from sinning with my tongue; I guard my mouth with a muzzle while the wicked is ere in front of me.

¹⁹ In the abundance of words, rebellion ceases not; and he who spares his lips, comprehends.

¹³ The snare of evil is by the rebellion of lips; and the just come from tribulation.

⁷ The mouth of a fool is his ruin and his lips the snare of his soul.

²¹ Death and life are in the hand of the tongue; and they who love it eat the fruit thereof.

¹⁹ A talebearer exposes private counsel; meddle not with him who entices with his lips.

²³ Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue guards his soul from tribulations.

³⁶ But I word to you, That every idle rhema - whatever humanity speaks, renders word concerning it in the day of judgment: ³⁷ for by your words you are justified; and by your words you are adjudged.

²⁶ If anyone among you thinks himself as being ceremonious and bridles not his tongue but deludes his own heart - the ceremony of this man is vain.

² for we all stumble much. If anyone stumbles not in word, this one is a completed/shalamed man, also able to bridle the whole body. ³ Behold the horses; we put bits in their mouths to obey us; and we turn their whole body. ⁴ Behold, also the sailers; being so great and driven of hard winds; yet are they turned by a very short rudder wherever the violent impulse of the straightener wills. ⁵ Thus also the tongue; a little member that boasts mega. Behold, how much forest a little fire lights! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire - a cosmos of injustice: thus the tongue sits among our members to stain the whole body and inflame the track of genetics; and it is inflamed by Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning. ⁷ For all nature, both of beasts and of flyers, both of creepers and of those in the sea, is tamed - and has been tamed by human nature: ⁸ but the tongue, no human can tame - an unrestrainable evil full of death bearing venom: ⁹ therein we eulogize our Elohim and Father; and therein we curse humanity who became after the likeness of Elohim. ¹⁰ From the same mouth comes eulogy and cursing. My brothers, these need not be thus. ¹¹ A fountain, at the same cavern, sends it sweet and bitter? ¹² Can the fig tree, my brothers, make olives? Or a vine, figs? Thus no fountain makes both salt water and fresh.

¹⁰ Who numbers the dust of Yaaqov? And the number of the fourth of Yisra El? Let my soul die the death of the straight and let my finality be like his!

¹⁴ they still germinate in greyness - fat and green;

² - to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; ³ yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; ⁴ if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures ⁵ - then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim. ⁶ For Yah Veh gives wisdom - from his mouth knowledge and discernment: ⁷ he treasures substance for the straight; a buckler to them who walk integriously: ⁸ he guards the paths of judgment and guards the way of his mercied. ⁹ Then you discern justness and judgment and straightnesses - every good route:

³⁴ Blithe - the human who hears me; guarding day by day at my gates; waiting at the posts of my portals.

⁴ He who works a deceitful palm impoverishes; and the hand of the decisive enriches.

²⁵ The soul for blessings fattens; and he who saturates, also flows.

¹¹ He who serves his soil is satisfied with bread; and he who pursues vanities lacks heart.

²⁴ The hand of the decisive reigns; and the deceitful are a vassal.

¹³ The sloth says, A roaring lion in the way - a lion in the broadways.

²⁵ He of an enlarged heart, throttles strife; and he who confides in Yah Veh, fattens.

¹¹ and Yah Veh guides you continually and satisfies your soul in parch and fattens your bones: and you become as a saturated garden and as a spring of water whose waters fail not.

²⁷ Work not for the food that destructs; but for the food that abides to eternal life which the Son of humanity gives you: for Elohim the Father sealed him.

¹¹ And we pant that each of you indicate the same diligence to the full bearance to the completion/shalom:

⁵ And beside this, in bringing you all diligence, supply in your trust, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, endurance; and in endurance, reverence; ⁷ and in reverence, befriending brothers; and in befriending brothers, love. ⁸ For these being in you, and superabounding, they seat you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah. ⁹ Indeed he to whom these are not present is blind and blinks forgeting the purifying from his sins of long ago. ¹⁰ So the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and selection steadfast: for doing these, you never ever no way stumble: ¹¹ for thus you are richly supplied with an entrance into the eternal sovereigndom of our Adonay and Saviour Yah Shua Messiah.

¹⁶³ I hate and abhor falsehood but love your torah:

³⁵ the wise inherit honor; and abasement is the exaltation of fools.

¹⁷ a lofty eye; a false tongue; and hands pouring innocent blood;

⁸ vanity and words of lies, remove far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches; tear my statute bread for me;

⁹ and the escapees among the goyim remember me where they are captured, because I am broken with their whorish heart who turn aside from me; and with their eyes which whore after their idols: and they loathe at the face of the evils they worked in all their abhorrences;

⁴³ and there you remember your ways and all your exploits wherein you fouled; and you loathe yourselves in your own face for all the evils you worked:

³¹ Then you remember your own evil ways and your no good exploits; and loathe at your face for your perversities and for your abhorrences.

²
THE RESURRECTION
And the many sleeping in the soil of dust awake - some to eternal life; and some to reproach and eternal contempt:

⁸ And in one month, I chop off three tenders; and my soul loathes them, and their soul also loathes me.

²⁵ So put away lying - each speaking truth with your neighbour: for we are members of one another.

⁹ Lie not one to another - seeing that you stripped the old humanity with his functions;

⁸
THE SEVERED RELATIONSHIP OF ELOHIM FROM THE UNHOLY
And the cowardly and trustless and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and pharmaceutists and idolaters and all pseudos have their part in the lake burning with fire and sulphur - being the second death.

²³ and he sacrifices to the elohim of Dammeseq who smite him: and he says, Because the elohim of the sovereigns of Aram help them - so I sacrifice to them - that they help me. - and they stumble him and of all Yisra El.

² He who walks integriously and does justness and words the truth in his heart.

²¹ Integrity and straightness guard me; for I await you:

¹ By David. Judge me, O Yah Veh; for I walk in my integrity: I confide in Yah Veh; I waver not.

²² His own perversities capture the wicked - upheld by the cords of his own sins:

³ The integrity of the straight leads them; and the perverseness of them who deal covertly ravages them.

⁵ The justness of the integrious straightens his way; and the wicked falls by his own wickedness. ⁶ The justness of the straight rescues them; and they who deal covertly are captured in their own calamity.

¹² The Just One comprehends the house of the wicked; perverting the wicked for their evil.

²⁴ One scatters and yet increases; one sparingly in straightness, but lacks.

⁹ Better, the abased who has a servant, than he who honors himself and lacks bread.

¹¹ Wealth by vanity diminishes; and he who gathers by hand abounds.

¹ Send your bread on the face of the waters; for after abundant days, you find. ² Give an allotment to seven and also to eight; for you know not what evil is on the earth.

²¹ Thus is he who treasures for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.

³³ Sell your holdings and give mercies; make yourselves pouches which antiquate not - an inexhaustible treasure in the heavens where neither thief approaches nor moth corrupts:

¹¹ The Pharisee stands and prays these with himself, Elohim, I eucharistize you, that I am not exactly as the rest of humanity - plunderers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this customs agent: ¹² I fast twice on the shabbath, I tithe all - as much as I possess. ¹³ And the customs agent, stands afar off, and wills not even so much as to lift his eyes to the heavens; but strikes on his chest, wording, Elohim, kapur/atone for me a sinner. ¹⁴ I word to you, this one descends to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself, is humbled; and whoever humbles himself, is exalted.

⁸ Already you gluttonize; already you enrich; - reign as sovereigns apart from us: and yet indeed, O that you reign; so that we also co-reign.

¹⁰ We are fools for sake of the Messiah - and you thoughtful in Messiah; we are frail - and you mighty; you glorious - and we dishonored. ¹¹ Even to this present hour we both famish and thirst - naked and punched and unsettled;

⁷
CLAY VESSELS
And we have this treasure in clay vessels; that the excellency of the dynamis be of Elohim and not of us.

¹⁰ as sorrowed yet ever cheering, as poor yet enriching many, as having naught and holding all.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brothers, Selects not Elohim the poor of this cosmos rich in trust and heirs of the sovereigndom which he pre-evangelized to them who love him?

¹⁹ While they pre-evangelize liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom anyone is belittled, by him is he subservient.

⁹ I know your works and tribulation and poverty - but you are rich; and the blasphemy of them who word themselves to be Yah Hudiym and are naught but the synagogue of Satan.

¹⁷ because you word, Because I am rich and enriched and need naught! - and know not that you are miserable and least mercied and poor and blind and naked:

³⁰ If a koper/an atonement is set on him, then he gives whatever is set on him to redeem his soul.

¹⁴ And he exiles all Yeru Shalem and all the governors and all the mighty of valour - ten thousand exiles and all the artificers and locksmiths - none survive except the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹² and the great slaughterer had the poor of the land survive to be vinedressers and plowers.

⁴ And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Skin for skin; yes, all a man has he gives for his soul;

⁶ They who confide in their valuables - in the abundance of their riches halal themselves. ⁷ In redeeming, man neither redeems his brother, nor gives Elohim a koper/an atonement for him; ⁸ and esteemed is the redemption of their soul: and ceases eternally; ⁹ and still he lives in perpetuity and sees not the pit of ruin. ¹⁰ For he sees wise men die; the fool and the stupid destruct together and leave their valuables to others.

³⁵ he neither lifts the face of any koper/atonement; nor wills he though you abound bribes.

¹⁰ and of the poor of the people who have naught Nebu Zaradan the rabbi slaughterer has them survive in the land of Yah Hudah; and gives them vineyards and plowed fields that same day.

⁸ And they find ten men among them who say to Yishma El, Execute us not: for we hid treasures in the field - of wheat and of barley and of oil and of honey. - and he ceases and slaughters them not among their brothers.

¹²
THE SURVIVORS OF YISRA EL
And I leave midst you a humbled and poor people; and they seek refuge in the name of Yah Veh:

²⁶ for what is a human benefited whenever he gains the whole cosmos and loses his own soul? Or what gives a human in exchange for his soul?

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptibles as silver or gold of your vain patriarchal traditions; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb, unblemished and unstained:

³⁶ and to his son I give one scion; so David my servant has a lamp all days at my face in Yeru Shalem - the city I chose to set my name there.

⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked extinguishes and the flame of his fire illuminates not; ⁶ the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him;

¹⁷ How often the lamp of the wicked extinguishes! And their calamity comes on them! He apportions pangs in his wrath;

³ when his lamp halaled on my head; when by his light I walked the darkness;

¹¹ Light is seeded for the just and cheerfulness for the straight in heart:

⁴ To the straight, light rises in the darkness; he is charismatic and merciful and just:

¹⁸ And the path of the just is as the brilliant light that goes and lights more and more to establish the day.

²⁰ Whoever abases his father or his mother, extinguishes his lamp in mid darkness.

²⁰ for there is no finality to the evil; the lamp of the wicked extinguishes.

¹⁰ Who among you fears Yah Veh? Who hearkens to the voice of his servant? Who walks in darkness with no brilliance? Have him confide in the name of Yah Veh and lean on his Elohim. ¹¹ Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who girt with sparks: walk in the flame of your fire and in the sparks you burn. This becomes you from my hand; you lie down in agony.

¹³ Then the sovereign says to the ministers, Bind him hand and foot and take him away and eject him into outer darkness; there becomes weeping and gnashing of teeth:

⁸ and the foolish say to the thoughtful, Give us of your olive oil, for our lamps are quenched.

¹
MEN OF EPHRAYIM FEEL SLIGHTED
And the men of Ephrayim say to him, In working, why work you this word, to not call us, when you go to fight with the Midyaniy? - and they strongly contend with him. ² And he says to them, What work I now compared to you? Is not the gleaning of Ephrayim better than the crop of Abi Ezer? ³ Elohim gave into your hands the governors of Midyaniy, Oreb and Zeeb: and what can I work compared to you? - and he words that word, and they slacken their spirit toward him.

¹
THE EPHRAYIM FEEL SLIGHTED
And they summon the men of Ephrayim; and they pass over northward and say to Yiphtach, Why pass you over to fight the sons of Ammon and call not us to go with you? We burn your house on you with fire! ² And Yiphtach says to them, I became a man of mighty strife - I and my people with the sons of Ammon; and when I cried to you, you saved me not from their hands; ³ and when I saw you saved me not, I set my soul in my palms and passed over against the sons of Ammon; and Yah Veh gives them into my hand. Why then ascend you to me this day, to fight me? ⁴
JUDGE YIPHTACH FIGHTS EPHRAYIM
Then Yiphtach gathers all the men of Gilad and fights Ephrayim: and the men of Gilad smite Ephrayim, because they say, You Giladiy are escapees of Ephrayim among the Ephrayimiy and among the Menash Shiy. ⁵ And the Giladiy capture the passages of Yarden in front of the Ephrayimiy: and so be it, when those Ephrayimiy escapees say, Let me pass over! that the men of Gilad say to him, Are you an Ephrayim? If he says, No! ⁶ then they say to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he says Sibboleth: for he prepares not to word right: and they hold him and slaughter him at the passages of Yarden: and there falls at that time of the Ephrayimiy forty-two thousand.

¹⁰ And the children who grew up with him word to him, saying, Say thus to this people who word to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but swiften it to us - word to them thus, My pinky is thicker than the loins of my father! ¹¹ And now, whereas my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, I add to your yoke: my father disciplined you with whips; and I - I discipline you with scorpions.

¹⁶
THE SOVEREIGNDOM DIVIDED
And all Yisra El sees that the sovereign hearkens not to them, and the people return word to the sovereign, saying, What allotment have we in David? Yes, there is no inheritance in the son of Yishay: to your tents, O Yisra El! Now see to your own house, O David. - and Yisra El goes to their tents.

¹⁰ in smiting, you smote Edom and your heart lifts you: be honored and settle at your house: for why coax you to evil only, to fall - you and Yah Hudah with you?

¹⁵ The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; and he who hearkens to counsel is wise. ¹⁶ The vexation of a fool is known in a day; and the subtle cover abasement.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as a bursting of water leave off contention ere it faces a quarrel.

²⁰ Hear counsel and take discipline, that you finally enwisen.

¹⁸ Every fabrication is established by counsel; and with counsels, work war.

²⁴ Proud, arrogant: scorner is his name, who works the fury of arrogance.

⁸ Go not forth hastily to strive, What work you when your friend finally shames you?

²⁸
THE TOWER
For who of you, who wills to build a tower, indeed sits not down first and computes the expense, whether he has enough for the finishing? ²⁹ Lest ever, after he places the foundation and is not able to fully complete, all who observe begin to mock him, ³⁰ wording, This human began to build, and is not able to fully complete/shalam. ³¹
TREATY OF SHALOM
Or what sovereign, going to encounter war against another sovereign, indeed sits not down first, and counsels whether he is able by ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? ³² But if not, while the other is yet afar off, he apostolizes a presbytry and asks for shalom.

²⁴ and also a strife becomes among them, which of them is thought to be the greatest.

¹
THE MINISTRY OF TABLES
And in these days, as the number of the disciples multiplies, there becomes a murmuring of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because they overlook the widows in the daily ministry. ² And the twelve call the multitude of the disciples to them, and say, It is not pleasing to leave the word of Elohim, and minister tables: ³ so, brothers, scope out seven men of witness full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to seat over this need: ⁴ but we continue in prayer and to the ministry of the word. ⁵ And the word pleases in sight of the whole multitude: and they select Stephanos, a man full of trust and of the Holy Spirit, and Philippos and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas a proselyte - an Antiochan:

⁴ he is inflated, knowing naught; but is diseased about questions and logomachy; whereof becomes envy, contention, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

¹⁴ But if you have bitter zeal and strife in your hearts, neither exult nor lie against the truth. ¹⁵ - this wisdom descends not from above but is earthly, soulical, demonic. ¹⁶ For where there are zeal and strife, there are instability and every evil matter.

¹
SUBJUGATING AND RESISTING
\ul0 Whence are wars and strifes among you? Are they not from your pleasures warring in your members?

⁵ Or think you that the scripture words in vain, The spirit dwelling in us yearns to envy? ⁶ But he gives greater charism. So he words, Elohim opposes the proud and gives charism to the humble.

⁹ I scribed to the ecclesia: but Diotrephes, who befriends preeminence among them, receives us not. ¹⁰ So, whenever I come, I remember the works he does, babbling against us with evil words: and not satisfied by these he himself receives not the brothers and forbids them who so will - and casts them from the ecclesia.

²⁸ and he tabernacles in cut off cities and in houses which no man settles - ready to be heaped. ²⁹ He neither enriches, neither his valuables arise, nor his acquisitions spread on the earth;

¹⁵ He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly;

¹⁹ He crushes - he forsakes the poor; he strips a house he built not; ²⁰ surely he knows no serenity in his belly; he rescues none of his desires: ²¹ none of his food survives; so no one writhes his goods. ²² In the fulness of his gluttony, he constricts; every hand of the wicked comes on him.

¹⁶ though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: ¹⁷ he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver:

² for you eat the labor of your palms; blithed - and good with you

² Treasures of wickedness benefit naught; and justness rescues from death.

²² The good have the sons of their sons to inherit; and the valuables of the sinner are treasured for the just. ²³ Abundant food is the tillage of the impoverished; and is scraped away for want of judgment.

²¹ An inheritance first obtained by avarice; is not blessed at its finality.

²³ In knowing, know the face of your flocks; set your heart to your droves. ²⁴ For neither is wealth eternal; nor the separatism generation to generation. ²⁵ The grass exposes and the sprout is seen; and herbs of the mountains are gathered. ²⁶ The lambs are for your robe and the he goats are the price of the field. ²⁷ And you have milk enough of the doe goats for your bread - for the bread of your household, and for the life of your lasses.

⁸ He who by interest and bounty abounds his wealth, gathers for him who grants charism to the poor.

²⁰ A trustworthy man abounds with blessings; and he who hastens to enrich, is not exonerated.

²² The man who hastens to have wealth has an evil eye and perceives not that lack comes on him.

¹⁴ and those riches destruct by evil drudgery; and he births a son - and naught is in his hand.

¹¹ The partridge broods, and births not: thus is he who works riches, but not by justness - who forsakes them in the half of his days and at his end, is a fool.

⁶ They, all of them, lift they not a proverb against him? and a satire riddle against him? and say, Ho to him who abounds in what is not his! How long? And to him who heavies himself with heavy pledges! ⁷ Rise they not in a blink - they who bite you? And waken - they who agitate you? And you become their plunder?

¹
TREASURING TREASURES
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you. ² Your riches putrefy and your garments become motheaten: ³ your gold and silver rust; and their rust becomes a witness against you to consume your flesh as fire. You treasured in the final days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth. ⁵ You indulged on the earth and luxuriated; you nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter;

⁶ And Sarah says, Elohim works me laughter; all who hear laugh with me. ⁷ And she says, Who utters to Abraham, that Sarah ever suckle sons - to birth him a son for his old age?

³⁰ And Yisra El says to Yoseph, This time I die, since seeing your face, because you are still alive.

²⁶ And she says, Oh my adoni, as your soul lives, my adoni, I am the woman who stationed here by you, praying unto Yah Veh: ²⁷ - for this lad I prayed; and Yah Veh gives me the petition I asked of him: ²⁸ and also I lend him to Yah Veh; all the days he lives he becomes lent to Yah Veh. - and he prostrates to Yah Veh there.

¹⁵ As for me, I see your face in justness; I satsify when I waken with your manifestation.

² and he ascends me from a roaring well - from the miry mire; and raises my feet on a rock and establishes my steps. ³ He gives a new song in my mouth, Halal to our Elohim! Many see and awe and confide in Yah Veh.

¹
BOOK II To His Eminence; On Comprehension: For the sons of Qorach. As the hart yearns after the reservoirs of water, thus yearns my soul after you, O Elohim. ² My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the living El. When come I to see the face of Elohim? ³ My tears are my bread day and night, while all day they say to me, Where is your Elohim?

³ I belabored of my calling; my throat scorches; my eyes finish off as I await my Elohim.

⁸¹ CAPH. My soul finishes off for your salvation; for I await your word: ⁸² my eyes finish off for your sayings, saying, When sigh you over me? ⁸³ For I become as a skin in smoke; yet I forget not your statutes.

⁷ Answer me hastily, O Yah Veh; my spirit finishes off: hide not your face from me; lest I be as they who descend in the well:

¹⁸ she is a tree of life to them who uphold her; and blithesome to them who uphold her.

³⁰ The fruit of the just is a tree of life; and he who takes souls is wise.

¹⁹ The desire that becomes is pleasant to the soul; and abhorrence to fools is to turn aside from evil.

⁸ I oath you, O daughters of Yeru Shalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him, I am worn from love.

²⁹ Despotes, now release your servant in shalom, according to your rhema: ³⁰ for my eyes see your salvation,

²² And so indeed, you now have sorrow: but I see you again, and your heart cheers, and no one takes your cheer from you:

² midst the broadway and hence and hence of the stream is the staff of life dealing twelve fruits; giving her fruit each single month: and the leaves of the staff are to the therapy of the goyim.

³¹ because he despises the word of Yah Veh and breaks his misvah: in cutting off, that soul becomes cut off; his perversity is on him.

⁹ Why despise you the word of Yah Veh to work evil in his eyes? You smote Uri Yah the Hethiy with the sword and took his woman to be your woman and slaughtered him with the sword by the sons of Ammon: ¹⁰ and now the sword turns not aside from your house eternally; finally, you despised me and took the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy to be your woman.

¹⁶ and they deride the angels of Elohim and despise his words and deceive his prophets until the fury of Yah Veh ascends against his people - until there is no healing.

³ and now have us cut a covenant with our Elohim to bring all the women and those birthed of them according to the counsel of my Adonay; and those who tremble at the misvah of our Elohim; and work according to the torah.

¹¹ Also by them your servant enlightens; and in guarding them is a great final result.

¹³ he blesses them who awe Yah Veh - small and great.

¹⁶⁵ Great shalom have they who love your torah; they have no stumblingblock.

²⁵ you loose all my counsel and will none of my reproof.

³⁰ they will not my counsel; they scorn all my reproof; ³¹ they eat of the fruit of their own way and satiate with their own counsels:

²¹ Evil pursues sinners; and good is the shalam of the just.

² For all those my hand worked, and they all became - an oracle of Yah Veh: and to this man I look - the humbled and smitten of spirit who tremble at my word.

² that Azar Yah the son of Hosha Yah and Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and all the arrogant men say to Yirme Yah, saying, You speak falsely: Yah Veh our Elohim sent you not, saying, Go not into Misrayim to sojourn there.

¹⁶ The word you worded to us in the name of Yah Veh, we hearkened not to you: ¹⁷ for in working, we work whatever comes from our own mouth, to incense to the sovereigness of the heavens and to libate libations to her as we worked - we and our fathers our sovereigns and our governors in the cities of Yah Hudah and in the outways of Yeru Shalem: for then we were satiated with bread and were good and saw no evil:

¹³ And the house of Yisra El rebels against me in the wilderness: they walk not in my statutes and they spurn my judgments - which, if a human works, he lives in them; and they mightily profane my shabbaths: and I say, I pour my fury on them in the wilderness to consume them.

¹⁶ because they spurned my judgments and walked not in my statutes; and profaned my shabbaths: for their heart went after their idols:

²⁴ because they work not my judgments; and despise my statutes and profane my shabbaths: and their eyes are after the idols of their fathers.

¹⁶
THE SCROLL OF REMEMBRANCE
Then they who awe Yah Veh word man to friend: and Yah Veh hearkens and hears and inscribes a scroll of remembrance at his face of them who awe Yah Veh and of them who fabricate his name.

¹² Cheer, and jump for joy! For vast is your reward in the the heavens: for thus they persecuted the prophets preceding you.

³¹ And he says to him, If they hear not Mosheh and the prophets, they are not convinced even whenever one rises from the dead.

²⁸ Anyone who set aside the torah of Mosheh died apart from compassion under two or three witnesses: ²⁹ of how much worse punishment, think you, is he deemed worthy - who tramples the Son of Elohim? - and deems profane the blood of the covenant wherein he was hallowed? - and insults the Spirit of charism?

⁸ Look to yourselves - that we lose not what we worked but that we take a full reward.

⁶ the cords of sheol surround me; the snares of death confront me: ⁷ in my tribulation I call on Yah Veh and cry to my Elohim. He hears my voice from his manse and my cry is in his ears:

⁵ the cords of sheol surround me; the snares of death anticipate me.

³ the cords of death surround me and the straits of sheol find me: I find tribulation and grief:

¹¹ for by me your days abound and the years of your life increase:

²⁷ The awe of Yah Veh is a fountain of life, to turn from the snares of death.

²⁴ The way of life to the comprehending is above, to turn aside from sheol below.

⁶ By mercy and truth iniquity kapars/atones; and by the awe of Yah Veh evil turns aside.

¹⁷ The highway of the straight is to turn aside from evil; he who guards his way guards his soul.

²² Comprehension is a fountain of life to its master; and the discipline of fools is folly.

¹⁴ And David comprehends in all his ways; and Yah Veh is with him: ¹⁵ and Shaul sees that he comprehends mightily, and he sojourns from his face: ¹⁶ and all Yisra El and Yah Hudah love David, because he goes and comes at their face.

⁹ when your fathers tested me - proofed me and saw my deeds. ¹⁰ Forty long years I loathed this generation and said, A people who stray in their heart; who know not my ways: ¹¹ whom I oathed in my wrath that they not enter to my rest.

¹⁰ The awe of Yah Veh is the beginning of wisdom; all who work them have good comprehension; his halal stands eternal.

⁴ thus you find charism and good comprehension in the eye of Elohim and humanity.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble.

³⁵ The pleasure of the sovereign is toward a comprehending servant; and his outburst of passion is on one who shames.

¹⁰ Discipline is evil to him who forsakes the way; and he who hates reproof dies.

¹⁹ Your own evil disciplines you and your own apostasies reprove you: so know and see that it is evil and bitter to forsake Yah Veh your Elohim, and that my fear is not in you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁵² and Yah Shua advances in wisdom and maturity and in charism with Elohim and humanity.

¹⁰ and releases him from all his tribulations, and gives him charism and wisdom in the sight of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim; and he seats him governor over Misrayim and all his house.

²¹ So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death.

¹⁰ And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, Who is David? Who is the son of Yishay? Now a days servants abound by the myriads - every man who breaks away from the face of his adoni: ¹¹ Take I my bread and my water and the slaughter I slaughter for my shearers and give it to men whom I know not whence they are?

¹⁷ So now know and see what you work; for evil finishes off against our adoni and against all his household: for he is too much of a son of Beli Yaal to word to.

²⁵ may not my adoni, I beseech you, set his heart to this man of Beli Yaal, Nabal: for as his name, thus is he: Nabal is his name and folly is with him: but I your maid saw not the lads of my adoni whom you sent.

⁵ a good man grants charism and lends; he sustains his words with judgment:

²² False lips are an abhorrence to Yah Veh; and they who work trustworthily are his pleasure. ²³ A subtle human covers knowledge; and the heart of fools calls, Folly!

² The tongue of the wise well-pleases knowledge; and the mouth of fools gushes folly.

³ yes also, when a fool walks by the way, his heart fails, and he says to every one that he is a fool.

¹³
A MESSIANIC PROPHECY
Behold, my servant comprehends; he is exalted and lifted - mightily lifted.

¹⁶ Behold, I apostolize you as sheep among wolves: so be thoughtful as serpents, and unadulterated as doves.

¹⁹ For your obedience spreads to all: so I cheer on your behalf: but yet indeed, I will that you be wise as to good and unadulterated as to evil:

²⁰ Brothers, be not children in thought: rather be babies in malice and completed/shalamed in thought.

¹⁷ So be not thoughtless, but comprehend the will of Adonay.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, thus is the sloth to them who send him.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the day of harvest, thus is a trustworthy ambassador to them who send him; for he restores the soul of his adonim.

²³ The north wind whirls the downpour; and an enraged face, a covert tongue.

⁶ He who sends word by the hand of a fool cuts off the feet and drinks violence.

¹³ And I see frivolity in the prophets of Shomeron; they prophesy in Baal, and stray my people Yisra El: ¹⁴ and I see a horror in the prophets of Yeru Shalem; they adulterize and walk in falsehoods: yes, they strengthen the hands of vilifiers so that no man returns from his evil: they all are to me as Sedom and the settlers as Amorah. ¹⁵ So thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth concerning the prophets: Behold, I feed them with wormwood and have them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Yeru Shalem profaneness goes into all the land. ¹⁶ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Hearken not to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they make you vain: they word a vision of their own heart - not from the mouth of Yah Veh.

²⁸ The prophet, having a dream, have him scribe a dream; and he, having my word, have him word my word in truth. What is the straw to the grain? - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁸ In my saying to the wicked, In dying, you die; and you neither enlighten him, nor word to enlighten the wicked from the wicked way he lives; the same wicked dies in his perversity; and I seek his blood at your hand:

⁷ Thus you, O son of humanity, I give you as a watcher to the house of Yisra El: so hear the word at my mouth and enlighten them from me; ⁸ saying to the wicked, O wicked, in dying, you die if you word not to enlighten the wicked from his way: that wicked dies in his perversity and I seek his blood at your hand.

² Finally it is sought in administrators, to find each trustworthy.

¹⁷ For we are not as many who huckster the word of Elohim: but as of sincerity - but as of Elohim, in the sight of Elohim we speak in Messiah.

²⁰ So we are presbyters for Messiah, as Elohim beseeching through us: we petition in the stead of Messiah, be reconciled to Elohim.

¹²
THE PERSONAL WITNESS OF PAULOS
And I have charism to Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay, who dynamized me, who deemed me trustworthy, putting me into the ministry:

² And what you hear from me through many witnesses, set forth to trustworthy humanity, who are ample to doctrinate others also.

⁵ The just hammer me in mercy, and reprove me; an ointment of the head - which my head disallows not; for my prayer is yet against their evil.

⁹ lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel: ¹⁰ lest strangers satiate with your produce; and your contorting be in the house of a stranger: ¹¹ and you growl at the finality when your flesh and your meat finish off, ¹² and say, How I hated discipline and my heart scorned reproof: ¹³ and I neither obeyed the voice of my teachers nor spread my ear to them who taught me: ¹⁴ I was almost in all evil midst the congregation and witness.

⁹ give to the wise and he enwisens; the just know, and increase in doctrine.

¹ Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge; and whoever hates reproof is stupid.

¹³ Whoever disrespects the word is despoiled; and he who awes the misvah, is shalamed.

³¹ The ear that hears the reproof of life stays among the wise: ³² he who avoids discipline spurns his own soul: and he who hears reproof gets heart.

⁶ Many stroke the face of the volunteer; and all are a friend of a man of gifts.

¹² as a nosering of gold and an ornament of ore, thus is a wise reprover to a hearkening ear.

³ O Yah Veh, are not your eyes on trustworthiness? you smite them, and they writhe not; you finish them off, and they refuse to take correction: they toughen their faces as a rock; they refuse to return. ⁴ And I - I say, Surely these are poor; they folly: for they know neither the way of Yah Veh nor the judgment of their Elohim. ⁵ I go to the great and word to them - for they know the way of Yah Veh and the judgment of their Elohim: surely these altogether broke the yoke; they tore the bonds. ⁶ So a lion from the forest smites them; a wolf from the plains ravages them; a leopard watches over their cities; every one who comes out thence is torn - because their rebellions abound by the myriads and their apostasies are mighty. ⁷ How forgive I you for this? Your sons forsake me, and oath by them who are non-elohim: when I oath them, they adulterize and troop in the whore houses: ⁸ they wander as nourished horses; every man sounds after the woman of his friend. ⁹ Visit I not for these? - an oracle of Yah Veh and avenge I not my soul on such a goyim as this?

²⁵ See that you not shun him who speaks. For if they flee not - they who shunned him who oracled on earth, how much more we, - we who turn from him of the heavens

⁴⁸ and thus also says the sovereign, Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who gives one to settle on my throne this day - my eyes seeing.

²⁸ And to humanity he says, Behold, to Adonay is wisdom; and to turn aside from evil, discernment.

¹ To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. The sovereign cheers in your strength, O Yah Veh; how mightily he twirls in your salvation: ² you give him the desire of his heart and withhold not the yearning of his lips. Selah.

¹⁴ turn from evil and work good; seek shalom and pursue it.

²⁷ Turn from evil and work good; and tabernacle eternally.

⁷ be not wise in your own eyes; awe Yah Veh and turn aside from evil

¹² Hope drawn out wearies the heart; and when desire comes, it is a tree of life.

²⁷ A man of wickedness is an abhorrence to the just; and the straight in the way is an abhorrence to the wicked.

⁴ In a little I pass from them, until I find him whom my soul loves; I hold him and not let him go until I bring him into the house of my mother - into the chamber of her who conceived me.

¹⁹ But yet indeed the foundation of Elohim still stands solid - having this seal, Yah Veh knows who are his. And, Everyone who names the name of Messiah departs from injustice. ^{Nahum 1:7, John 10:14}

⁷ I agonized a good agony; I completed/shalamed my race; I guarded the trust: ⁸ henceforth a wreath of justness is laid up for me which Adonay the just judge gives me in that day - and not only to me but also to all them who love his epiphany.

¹⁴ And I say to him, Adonay, you know. And he says to me, These are they coming from mega tribulation who flowed their stoles and whitened their stoles in the blood of the Lamb: ¹⁵ because of this they are in sight of the throne of Elohim and liturgize in his nave day and night: and he sitting on the throne tabernacles among them. ¹⁶ They neither still famish nor still thirst; nor falls the sun on them, nor any scorch: ¹⁷ because the Lamb midst the throne shepherds them, and guides them to living fountains of waters: and Elohim wipes all tears from their eyes.

¹² Abram settles in the land of Kenaan and Lot settles in the cities of the environs and pitches his tent toward Sedom. ¹³ And the men of Sedom are evil and sin mightily at the face of Yah Veh.

¹² and they take Lot, the son of the brother of Abram, who settles in Sedom with his acquisitions and go.

⁸ And he forsakes the counsel the elders counsel him; and counsels with the children who grew up with him - who stand at his face:

¹⁰ And the children who grew up with him word to him, saying, Say thus to this people who word to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but swiften it to us - word to them thus, My pinky is thicker than the loins of my father!

⁴ And he says to Yah Shaphat, Come with me to war to Ramoth Gilad? And Yah Shaphat says to the sovereign of Yisra El, I as you; my people as your people; my horses as your horses.

³² And so be it, the governors of the chariots see Yah Shaphat, and they say, Surely it is the sovereign of Yisra El. And they turn to fight him: and Yah Shaphat cries out.

² and Yah Hu the son of Hanani the seer goes out to face him; and says to sovereign Yah Shaphat, Help you the wicked and love them who hate Yah Veh? This rage be on you from the face of Yah Veh.

⁶³ I am a companion to all who awe you and to them who guard your precepts.

¹¹ if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent; ¹² we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well; ¹³ we find all esteemed wealth; we fill our houses with spoil; ¹⁴ fell your pebble among us; we all have one pouch! ¹⁵ - my son, walk not in the way with them; withhold your foot from their path: ¹⁶ for their feet run to evil and hasten to pour blood. ¹⁷ Surely the net is winnowed gratuitously in the eye of any master of wing: ¹⁸ they lurk for their own blood; they hide out for their own souls: ¹⁹ thus are the ways of all the greedy of greed; who take away the soul of their masters.

¹² to rescue you from the way of evil - from the man who words perversions: ¹³ who forsakes the paths of straightness to walk in the ways of darkness; ¹⁴ who cheers to work evil and twirls in the perversions of evil; ¹⁵ whose ways pervert - pervert in their routes: ¹⁶ to rescue you from the strange woman - from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings; ¹⁷ who forsakes the chiliarch of her youth and forgets the covenant of her Elohim. ¹⁸ For her house sinks to death and her routes to ghosts. ¹⁹ Neither return they who go to her nor overtake they of the paths of life. ²⁰ So walk in the way of good and guard the paths of the just:

²² suddenly he goes after her - as an ox going to the slaughter - as a fool to the discipline of tinklers: ²³ until an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and knows not it is for his soul.

²⁷ her house is the way to sheol descending to the chambers of death.

⁶ Forsake the gullible and live; blithesome in the way of discernment.

³¹ The ear that hears the reproof of life stays among the wise:

⁷ Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you tend; where you respose at noon; why am I as a veiled one by the droves of your companions? ⁸
THE MAN RESPONDS
If you know not, O you beautiful among women, go the way of the heelprints of the flock; and tend your kids beside the tabernacles of the tenders.

⁴² and they continue stedfastly in the doctrine and communion of the apostles and in breaking of bread and in prayers:

³³ Be not seduced; evil homilies corrupt kind habits. ³⁴ Sober up justly and sin not; for some are unknowing of Elohim: I word this to shame you.

¹⁴
UNEQUAL YOKES
Yoke not unequally with the trustless! For what partaking has justness with torah violations? And what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what symphony has Messiah with Beli Yaal? Or what part has the trusting with the trustless? ¹⁶ And what togetherness has the nave of Elohim with idols? For you are the nave of the living Elohim; exactly as Elohim says, I indwell them and walk among them; and I become their Elohim; and they become my people. ^{Leviticus 26:12, Jeremiah 31:33, Ezekiel El 36:28, Zechariah 13:9 17}
THE CALL TO SET APART
So come out from among them, and be set apart, words Yah Veh, and touch not the impure; and I also receive you, ¹⁸ and become to you, Father and you become to me, sons and daughters, words Yah Veh Sabaoth. ^{Isaiah 52:11, Jeremiah 31:9}

²⁴ And consider one another - to agitate to love and to good works:

⁴ And I hear another voice from the heavens, wording, Come from her, my people, that you not co-partake of her sins and that you not take of her plagues.

⁷ If you well-please, and if you well-please not, sin crouches at the portal: and his desire is toward you; and you reign over him.
FIRST SLAUGHTER

²³ And if you work not so, behold, you sin against Yah Veh: and perceive that your sin finds you out.

¹⁰ Many are the sorrows of the wicked; as for him who confides in Yah Veh, mercy surrounds him.

¹⁰ You, say to the just, It is for good: for they eat the fruit of their exploitations. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked - evil: for the dealing of his hands works to himself.

⁴ And when the barbarians see the beast hang from his hand, they word among one another, Most certainly this human is a murderer, whom, though being saved from the sea, yet judgment allows not to live.

⁷ to them indeed, who by endurance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility - eternal life: ⁸ but to the rivalrous who indeed distrust the truth but obey injustice, fury and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and distress upon every soul of humanity who works evil - both of the Yah Hudiy first and also of the Hellene; ¹⁰ and glory, honor and shalom, to everyone who works good - both to the Yah Hudiy first and also to the Hellene:

⁷ and I raise my covenant between me and between you and your seed after you in their generations for an eternal covenant, to become Elohim to you and to your seed after you: ⁸ and I give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojournings - all the land of Kenaan for an eternal possession; and I become their Elohim.
COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION

¹² And now, neither give your daughters to their sons, nor bear their daughters to your sons, nor seek their shalom or their goodness eternally: that you strengthen and eat the good of the land for your sons to possess eternally.

¹² What man is he who awes Yah Veh? He teaches him in the way he chooses. ¹³ His soul stays in goodness; and his seed possesses the earth:

²⁵ I was a lad and am aged; yet I neither saw the just forsaken nor his seed seeking bread:

²⁸ The sons of your servants tabernacle and their seed establishes at your face.

² His seed is mighty on earth; the generation of the straight is blessed;

⁶ Yes, you see the sons of your sons. Shalom on Yisra El!

²⁶ - giving humanity what is good at his face - wisdom and knowledge and cheerfulness; and to the sinner he gives drudgery, to gather and to heap, to give him the good at the face of Elohim. This also is vanity and gnawing of spirit.

⁶ Go to the ant, you sloth; see her ways and enwisen: ⁷ who, having no commander, officer, or sovereign, ⁸ prepares her bread in the summer and harvests her food in the harvest. ⁹ Until when lie you down, O sloth? When rise you from your sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep; a little drowsiness; a little clasping of the hands to lie down: ¹¹ thus comes your poverty - as one who walks and your lack - as a man with buckler.

¹⁸ Whoever guards the fig tree, eats the fruit; thus he who guards his adoni, is honored.

¹⁹ He who serves his soil, satiates with bread; and he who pursues vanity, satiates with poverty.

⁹ Moreover the advantage of the earth is for all; the sovereign is served by the field.

⁵ Whoever guards the misvah knows no evil word; and the heart of the wise knows both time and judgment. ⁶ Because to every desire there is time and judgment, so the evil of humanity upon him is great: ⁷ Yes, the stork in the heavens knows her seasons; and the turtledove and the swallow and the thrush regard the time of their coming; and my people know not the judgment of Yah Veh. ⁸ How say you, We are wise and the torah of Yah Veh is with us? Behold, surely it works falsehood; the false stylus of the scribes works falsehood. ⁹ The wise shame: they are dismayed and captured: behold, they spurn the word of Yah Veh; and what wisdom is in them? ¹⁰ So I give their women to others and their fields to their successors: for every one from the least even to the greatest greedily gains to greedy gain - from the prophet even to the priest - every one works falsely.

¹² for whom Yah Veh loves, he reproves - even as a father the son who pleases him.

³⁶ and whoever sins against me violates his own soul; all who hate me love death.

¹⁸ Discipline your son while there is hope and lift not your soul for his death.

¹⁵ Folly is bound in the heart of a lad; and the scion of discipline removes it far from him.

¹³ Withhold not discipline from the lad; when you smite him with the scion, he dies not: ¹⁴ smite him with the scion and rescue his soul from sheol.

¹⁵ The scion and reproof give wisdom; and a lad sent away shames his mother.

¹⁷ Discipline your son and he gives you rest; yes, he gives delicately to your soul.

²⁶ If anyone comes to me, and hates not his father and mother and woman and children and brothers and sisters - yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple.

⁶ for Yah Veh disciplines whom he loves and scourges every son he receives. ^{Proverbs 3:11, 12 7} If you endure discipline, Elohim offers you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father disciplines not? ⁸ And if you are apart from discipline, whereof all become partakers, then you are bastards and not sons.

⁴⁸ - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you:

²⁴ Exhausted by famine, devoured by burning heat and bitter ruin: I also send the teeth of animals on them, with the poison of creepers of the dust.

¹⁰ The whelps lack and famish; but they who seek Yah Veh lack not any good.

³ Confide in Yah Veh and work good; thus you tabernacle in the land and tend to trustworthiness.

¹⁶ Better is the little of the just than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁸ Yah Veh knows the days of the integrious - that their inheritance is eternal. ¹⁹ They shame not in the evil time; they satiate in the days of famine.

¹¹ thus comes your poverty - as one who walks and your lack - as a man with buckler.

³ Yah Veh allows not the soul of the just to famish; and he expels the calamity of the wicked.

³⁴ and so be your poverty as one who travels; and your lack as a man with buckler.

¹³ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh, Behold, my servants eat, and you famish: behold, my servants drink, and you thirst: behold, my servants cheer, and you shame: ¹⁴ behold, my servants shout for goodness of heart, and you cry for pain of heart and howl for breaking of spirit:

¹⁰ For even being with you, we evangelized this to you, that if any wills to not work, that he neither eat.

⁸ For bodily exercise benefits little: but reverence is to all, having pre-evangelism of the life that now is, and is to come.

⁵ Your manner, unavaricious; being satisfied with the present. For he said, I neither no way let loose of you nor no way forsake.
